Fifty-two British-born blood donors who were chronic carriers of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) were tested for the presence of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and antibody to HBeAg by an immunoradiometric assay. The presence of HBeAg was closely associated with a slight rise in serum liver enzyme concentrations, a high HBsAg titre, and male sex. We suggest that the finding of persistently raised serum liver enzyme concentrations in an asymptomatic HBsAg carrier might be useful as a likely indicator of HBeAg and high infectivity.
对52名出生于英国的慢性乙型肝炎表面抗原(HBsAg)携带者献血者进行免疫放射分析,检测其乙型肝炎e抗原(HBeAg)及抗-HBeAg抗体的存在情况。HBeAg的存在与血清肝酶浓度略有升高、HBsAg高滴度以及男性性别密切相关。我们认为,在无症状HBsAg携带者中发现血清肝酶浓度持续升高,可能有助于作为HBeAg及高传染性的一个潜在指标。
